Over 35,000 people sign within 24 hours to save trees
Mysore/Mysuru: An online campaign has been launched against axing of hundreds of trees for the proposed
Heli Tourism near Lalitha Mahal Palace that is a butterfly zone.
A petition posted on www.change.org, has garnered the support of over 35,279 people from all over the world. It is not known how many of them are Mysureans.
The Heli Tourism project is the brainchild of Tourism Minister C.P. Yogeeshwar who has already held a couple of meetings and also inspected the proposed spot twice.
Green activist M.K. Saptha Girish, who initiated this petition against felling of trees, says that Mysuru needs environmentally sustainable tourism and not an environmentally destructive helipad near Lalitha Mahal Palace.
